A REVISIONIST HISTORY OF ST. PATRICK'S DAYorWhy There Are No Norwegians In Ireland

We celebrate March 17th in commemoration of St. Patrick'sgrand and noble deed of driving the Norwegians out of Ireland.

It seem that centuries ago many Norwegians came to Irelandto escape the bitterness of Norwegian winter. Ireland was having
afamine at the time and food was quite scarce.

The Norwegians were eating almost all the fish caught inthe area, leaving the Irish with nothing but potatoes.

St. Patrick taking matters into his own hands like most Irishmen
do,decided the Norwegians had to go. Secretly he organized the IRATRION
(IrishRepublican Army to Rid Ireland of Norwegians).

Irish members of IRATRION sabotaged all power plants in hopes the fish in Norwegians refrigerators would spoil, forcing
the Norwegians to a colder climate where their fish would keep.

The fish spoiled all right, but the Norwegians, as everyone
knows to this day, thrive on spoiled fish.

Faced with failure, the Irishmen sneaked into the Norwegians
fish storage coves in the dead of the night and sprinkled the rotten
fish with lye, hoping to poison the Norwegian intruders. But, as everyone
knows, this is how lutefisk was introduced to the Norwegians and they
thrived on this lye soaked smelly fish.

Matters became even worse for the Irishmen when the Norwegians
started taking over the Irish potato crop and making lefse. Poor St.
Pat was at his wits end and finally on March 17th he blew his top and
told all the Norwegians to go to HELL, and it worked. All the Norwegians
left Ireland and went to Minnesota.
